Well, apparently because of a "best offer". That could be any number between 1 and 1999

Yes it was https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHAPTER-FIVE-YOU-CANT-MEAN-IT-1966-UK-CBS-202395-NORTHERN-SOUL-ULTRA-RARE-MINT-/171095977577?pt=UK_Records&hash=item27d61d6e69 but apparently listing was ended because of a best offer.

Just played my Impact reissue. It's the later take. Not a bad one but yet not the original one.

There's a Youtube vid of the coloured vinyl Impact reissue which is a different take. My Impact reissue is on black vinyl, at least 10/12 years old and IIRC plays the original take. Will have a listen tonight though.

If you're not bothered about original or not, it was reissued on a jamaican yellow/white Impact! 45. Late 80s/early 90s I guess.

Of course it's greedy. But on the other hand it forces seller to state reasonable postage in order to avoid higher Ebay fees.

Somebody said in a previous post RD wasn't rude but misunderstood. That sums it up IMO. In one of my first orders I didn't play by his rules (sent money 'signed for' to his home address and not PO box) and received a let's say pretty straight forward letter lacking any kind of diplomacy. I was pretty pi**ed off back then and stopped ordering from him for some time. after some time I calmed down and started ordering again, but calling him instead of sending a letter. He turned out to be a pleasent guy to talk to on the phone and we actually spent at least 30 minutes discussing my football team before I placed my order.

Yes. Good read actually.

Also jamaican Stateside.

Wow, didn't know that...

PS: Am I alone in thinking this was probably recorded at a slower speed? It sounds just a tad too fast to me...

If I was a mod I wouldn't have said "please". You were referring to somebody playing a reissue instead of an original of same price. Basically another dull and boring original vs reissue post. And off-topic. But seeing others joined you now I'll leave you guys alone with yet another discussion about playing out reissues or not.

When you want to discuss issues like this please open a separate thread. Thank you.

and cracked, cover torn.

You're right. Post free outside Germany. Think someone @ Bear Family screwed it up when he put up the auction.

Post is 3,99 Euros, not free. Cheapest way is still to buy it off their website.

Stand corrected then Boy, do they look cute or what?

Of course it's a mock up. But nice idea nevertheless.

My copy arrived two days ago. Not off centre and excellent sound quality. Well done, Bear Family.

A copy of Little Stanley went for £220-ish on Ebay just recently. Didn't bother to bid as I expected it to finish much higher.

Vibraton was just a low budget label that released stuff across the board, i.e. soul, classic, jazz, swing, german schlager, what have you. They weren't a major label. Most german labels used pictures of the actual artists. Yet quite often they used generic pictures. Sometimes not even of a black singer but a white singer/band.
